Brief Answer:
anti pyretic medicines, steam inhalation

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for the consult at hcm,, It seems like you are down with a bad cold and fever. Firstly you can take steam inhalation even if you are having fever, since it will relieve your blocked nose..Along with it you can use nose drops to reduce the nose blockage..For fever you need antipyretic medicine such as paracetomol. At hcm we are not allowed to prescribe medicines..Hence i suggest you to consult a ent specialist or general physician asap to reduce your symptoms. Secondly during severe episode of fever you will be weak and dehydrated hence if you take a bath (hair/body) you might have chills..Hence i suggest you to avoid taking bath when severe fever is there. Once the fever comes down say 2-3 days then you might take a bath. Take good rest and eat nutritious food along with soups, drink warm water. Also do take good oral care during episode of fever since tongue coating may be present,,in such instances brush your tongue with soft brush. Do salt water gargle. I hope i have cleared your doubt,, hope it helps,, happy recovery..take care..
